Wadanggari Park Play Structure to reopen

Works to repair the Wadanggari Park playground are almost complete and we’re excited to welcome the community back to the playspace from Tuesday 25 November.

In addition to redesigning and replacing the balustrades which had been repeatedly vandalised, Council took the opportunity to undertake other rectification, and improvement works which we hope to enhance everyone’s experience at the park.

The new balustrade is made from powder coated, durable stainless steel that picks up on the colours and patterns found elsewhere in the park. The design aims to increase visibility for parents supervising children and add some striking colours for some fun and to help with wayfinding. New rubber softfall has been laid in some areas as well as some alterations to walls and steel elements.

We’d like to thank the community for their patience while these works were completed. With the improved design and durability of the equipment, along with ongoing surveillance and support from NSW Police, we hope to reduce vandalism and keep this much-loved playspace in great condition for everyone to enjoy.

Following repeated acts of vandalism, Council has temporarily closed the play structure at Wadanggari Park to ensure community safety. We are working closely with local police to identify those responsible.

To prevent future damage, Council has engaged a contractor to design and install a stronger, custom-made balustrade to replace the section that was repeatedly vandalised. As this material must be manufactured specifically for the unique play structure, and the process takes some time. We anticipate reopening the play area in November 2025.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to welcoming the community back to a safer and more resilient play space soon.
